Coach was founded in 1941 as a small family run business in Manhattan New York. They started with just a few American classic design handbags. Coach prides themselves in quality matched with functionality. On their handbags the seams are double stitched where reinforcement is required, bound edges and high quality glove-tanned leather which over time acquires a polished rich luster. No two grain patterns are alike. Over the years Coach has prolifically grown and has added an amazing variety of fine handbags, accessories and gifts for both women and men. Coach has been expanding rapidly in many different counties, being one of the fastest growing imported handbags and accessory brands in Japan.
